Weakness Shows Strength

Society as a whole would have us to think that this world is solely for the strong. Superheroes are glamorized and physical strength is seen as the ultimate attribute of men, Any signs of weakness are seen as being punkish, wimpish and just plain weak. I believe that it takes a very strong person to

Sweet Spot

It is Day #3 of The Experiential Classroom, and it is a breath of fresh air to be around men and women that are just as intrigued, passionate and excited about entrepreneurship as I am. There were several sessions yesterday, but the one that stood out to me was entitled “Play to Learn, Learn to

Finish the Race

It is easy to become discouraged when things don’t go the way we intend them to. Of course we have everything planned out from our college degrees, to our spouses, to our careers and everything in between. Then life happens and somewhere down the line we are thrown off course. An unexpected pregnancy, a job

Stand Out 9/15/13

As we were leaving Dave and Busters last night, we noticed that there was an influx of cars coming in though it was already very crowded. There were people there just for dinner as we were, but there were also several birthday parties, family outings, sports fanatics and kids enjoying the games. Joi noticed all

Maverick 9/16/13

Sanded By God

This week I have had the awesome opportunity to go to Saint Louis and participate in National Wood Flooring Association’s “Wood Flooring Basics” class to learn the minimum to the art of laying hardwood floors. One of the components of this process is called sanding. Sanding is also widely talked about when refinishing a floor

Fearless

As I prepare for my flight back to Atlanta later today, once again, the first thought is if I’m going to have a smooth flight or not (you can tell that I absolutely love flying right?). Got me to thinking about the very first time I ever stepped foot on a plane. It was my

Thrust Into Purpose

As I boarded my plane yesterday to Saint Louis, the usual thought popped up: I hope this is a smooth flight. The skies were clear and there were no threats of bad weather, but that never stopped me from having a bad flight before. Lol. It’s always the initial takeoff that gets me the most.

Why Not?!?!?!

Ever ask someone “why?” and the answer was “just because” or “because I wanted to” or “because I said so”? Or even more bothersome, you ask “why?” and the answer is “why not?” *chuckles* Though it greatly annoys us, more often than not, answering our question with a question forces us to explore the possibilities
